THE STORY:

Did you know that childhood obesity has more than tripled in the last 20 years? Or that 40% of low-income students in the L.A. Unified School District are overweight or obese?

Here at SOSMentor, we are taking matters into our own hands - and feet! Our ShapeUp Team is running in the 2012 Honda LA Marathon to "de-feet" childhood obesity by raising funds for SOSMentor's nutrition and fitness education programs, and serving as community health advocates and healthy role models for kids.

There are 3 things you can do to help us improve our children's health:

Hey There!

IN PROGRESS

It will take anywhere from 3 seconds to 1 minute for your pic to upload, depending on how big it is.

You're going to see this message every time you post a new pic. So, we're making the text really long so that it'll take you at least five picture uploads to read it all. Here's what we're thinking...While your first picture is uploading think about someone you want to kiss. When you upload your second pic think about one friend who you can beat in a race. On your third photo upload think about your favorite food that begins with the letter H. While your fourth picture is uploading think about how great it would be if you were a world class breakdancer. While your fifth picture is uploading try to think of the best candy to eat if you were a mime spending a month in New Zealand. If you upload a sixth and seventh picture please just read all of this again.

IN PROGRESS

We're setting up your Fundraiser page right now. It will take anywhere from 3 seconds to 27 seconds.
